Mos Def On The Banned List!

American rapper was denied entry into the United States. Yasiin Bey, known as Mos Def was to perform at an event in Boston but he was stopped at the gate.

Mos Def  (Dante Terrell Smith known as Yasiin Bey) is an activist and rapper.

Brooklyn based entertainer was denied entry into the country this week. He was supposed to perform at the Together Boston event but somehow his change of residence and political views may have been the reason for his denial.

“We regret to inform you that due to immigration / legal issues Yasiin Bey is unable to enter back into the United States and his upcoming U.S. tour has been canceled, including May 15th, Together Boston’s show at The Wilbur Theatre,” the statement read. “Individual ticket refunds for this show are available at point of sale.”

The Grammy and Emmy nominated rapper/actor recently relocated to South Africa, though it’s unclear whether he gave up his American citizenship. No reason was given for the denial of reentry.

Mos Def is well known for his left-leaning political views.

In 2000, Mos Def performed a benefit concert for death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Mos Def appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher where he spoke about racism against African Americans, citing the government response to Hurricane Katrina, the Jena Six and the murder conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal. He appeared on Real Time again on March 27, 2009, and spoke about the risk of nuclear weapons.

Mos Def said that he did not listen to any of Osama Bin Laden's messages because he did not trust the translations.

In July 2013, Mos Def, under the new name Yasiin Bey, appeared in a short film released by the human rights organization Reprieve, depicting the forced-feeding methods used at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps. This transpired after a document containing the military instructions for the procedure was leaked.

Something Ain't Right At Will And Jada's House!

The Fresh Prince and his princess are facing legal troubles.

Famed couple Will and Jada Pickett Smith are facing some questioning by the Los Angeles Children's Service because of their daughter Willow's crazy antics.

The Huffington Post reports that media sources swirling around their young daughter Willow was lying up with an older man. That picture below has the media going bonkers. Now all of sudden, our friends in the junk food media will "whip their hairs" into this scandal.

“The investigation was formally opened last week and is being taken very seriously by the department. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been extremely cooperative with officials. Of course, they aren’t happy that their parenting skills are under scrutiny, but they understand," a source told the website, adding that social workers will be speaking to Willow separately, as well as former Disney star Moises Arias, who was pictured with her in the photo.

The Huffington Post has reached out to both Smith and Pinkett Smith's reps for comment, but has yet to hear back at this time.

Picture worth a thousand words.

Meanwhile, the 42-year-old actress and matriarch of the family, brushed off the notion of any controversy after the photo of Willow sparked attention, telling TMZ's cameramen:

"Here's the deal: There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it and you're acting like covert pedophiles, and that's not cool."

Will Smith has yet to make any comment regarding the photo, but viral photos seem to run in the family, as a photo of him helping a fan announce her pregnancy has exploded online.

Dirty Rotten Politico Mitch McConnell Beats Insurgent!

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is one of the most dirtiest politicians ever to be in Washington, DC.

The senator who happens to be the Minority Leader in the Senate managed to beat back an insurgent from the right. The Tea Party endorsed Matt Bevin was roundly defeated by McConnell's dirty tactics.

In the general he will face Alison Lundergan Grimes, the secretary of state for Kentucky.

He's already preparing to scare the Kentuckians into believing Grimes is the "devil".

McConnell is considered vulnerable as reflected in his low approval ratings.

This election race is one of only two Republican-held seats that is considered a tossup, the other being retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss's seat in Georgia.

Game on.

The most controversial race is off and we'll see if Alison Lundergan Grimes can beat a dirty, but effective and savvy political foe.

It's official! Thank you Kentucky, together we will make history this November! #kysen pic.twitter.com/SX3f6DOi0w

Mikey D's Rolls Out A Son Of A Mac!

Company launches new promotion that is already causing an uproar.

Who's bright idea is to have this as a mascot for the world's most successful and yes controversial fast food restaurant?

The Chicago-based McDonald's corporation is retiring Ronald McDonald, the iconic clown who is a part of every young child's experience with a Happy Meal.

The clown hasn't hasn't been a feature since 2007.

The company unwraps the most unappealing mascot ever.

Are you happy?

Now doesn't that bring a child to McDonald's?

How many underpaid employees will suffer for this epic rollout of the "Happy" mascot?

If you're not a fan of the creepy box thing, you're not alone. It's being slammed on social networks and I hope that the McDonald's executives hear the word.

After all their CEO Donald Thompson, can lose weight eating a handful of those meals!

Meanwhile at Happy Headquarters... pic.twitter.com/ljcoUIb5PF

Actor Questioned In Death Of His Wife!

Actor Michael Jace is facing charges for murder.

Michael Jace is under the spotlight. The actor who is best known for his role as staunchly Christian (but secretly gay) officer Julien Lowe in the FX hit series The Shield is now going up the creek for the death of his wife April.

April Jace, 40, was found fatally shot in her home in south Los Angeles last night, and Jace has now been booked on a homicide charge. TMZ reports that Jace himself called police, and that he said on the 911 call, "I shot my wife." Sources say he was home alone; his wife came home with their two children, and he allegedly shot her a short time later—as the children, both under 10, looked on.

Jace also has starred in the movies The Replacements, playing a prison inmate turned football player; Forrest Gump, playing a member of the Black Panthers; The Fan, playing an arrogant ticket scalper; as well as an array of TV appearances including the 1995 HBO TV movie Tyson (as boxer Mitch Green), Law & Order, Cold Case, and the 1999 Fox TV movie Michael Jordan: An American Hero (as Jordan).

Jace was detained by the Los Angeles Police Department on May 19, 2014. Police had responded to a home in the Hyde Park section of South Los Angeles after receiving a report of a domestic violence incident.

Police took Jace into custody for questioning in her death. On May 20, he was formally charged in her shooting death.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of April Jace. Her husband threw away a career.

Breitbart Still Agitating From The Grave!

The lawsuits against him continues. Even though this agitator is dead, his assets would be up for grabs by those who sued him.

The racist right lost an ally to their efforts. On February 29, 2012, after finishing his documentary Hating Breitbart, conservative agitator Andrew Breitbart was at a local spot in his hometown of Los Angeles.

Everything was cool until the early morning of March 1. After leaving his spot, he was walking home. He would.collapse and die on route to the hospital. He passed away of a heart attack.

I remember that four days before his death, he was on That Guy Who Helped Obama Win's program. He was promoting that devastating tape that could rattle the institutional left. A tape that President Barack Obama was shielding from the junk food media.

Everyone was caught off guard by this.  Not many in the junk food media had heard of him. They knew he was the one who brought down ACORN, the community organization group the racist right believed "stole" the election from John McCain.

ACORN was being taped by James O'Keefe (aka ACORN Pimp), a right wing activist and his girlfriend at the time Hannah Giles. They would sneak into the community organization office as normal people and then turn around and put on a pimp and prostitute outfit. Their antics managed to shut down the community organization. Their antics managed to get them in trouble with the fired employees.

O'Keefe, Giles and Breitbart were forced to shelve out money after the tapes produced were found to be misleading and slanderous.

They heard of Breitbart being the guy who managed to embarrass Anthony Weiner, a longtime Democratic lawamker from New York. He got major credit for catching the lawmaker sexting women his penis. That led to the mighty fall of Weiner.

Shirley Sherrod is the most high profile litigant against the estate of Andrew Breitbart.

Weiner tried to resurrect his career by running for mayor of New York. His career tanked after got caught sending even more disturbing and even more explicit photos of his penis.

Now there's a real big story involving Breitbart. It comes in regards of Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) worker who was fired by the federal government after she was accused of saying offensive statements about White people.

July 19, 2010, Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign from her appointed position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture because of administration reaction to media reports on video excerpts from her address to an event of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in March 2010 and commentary posted by blogger Andrew Breitbart on his website.

Based on these excerpts, the NAACP condemned Sherrod's remarks as racist and U.S. government officials called on the official to resign. But, when the story was understood to be about the NAACP audience reaction to Sherrod's story, and not Sherrod at all, the NAACP and White House officials apologized. In addition, United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack apologized for the firing and offered Sherrod a new position.

Sherrod would file a lawsuit for defamation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Andrew Breitbart, Breitbart.com TV chief Larry O'Connor, and a "John Doe," who, according to the complaint, is "an individual whose identity has been concealed by the other defendants and who, according to defendant Breitbart, was involved in the deceptive editing of the video clip and encouraged its publication with the intent to defame Mrs. Sherrod."

On April 18, 2011, Breitbart and O'Connor filed joint motions for dismissal on First Amendment grounds, known in legal circles as an "anti-SLAPP motion." The motion argued that Breitbart's "1400-word, July 19, 2010 commentary... that is the subject of Sherrod’s lawsuit" was in the context of a "months-long and very loud public clash between Tea Party conservatives and the NAACP and its allies in Congress."

The motion was denied, and on February 15, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued a six-page "statement of reasons" which accused Breitbart and O'Connor of wasting "a considerable amount of judicial and litigant resources" on their "'novel' if not overreaching motion."

On March 2012, Andrew Breitbart died of heart failure. He remained a named party in Sherrod’s lawsuit until August 2013, when Sherrod’s lawyers moved to name Susie Bean Breitbart, his widow, as defendant in the lawsuit.

In 2014, Sherrod's lawyers indicated that U.S. executive branch privilege may play a role in the suit

To this day, most on the racist right believe that Sherrod is a "racist". Her image was severely tarnished.

Tom Vilsack, the current USDA chief is being subpoenaed to court  Lawyers for Sherrod and O'Connor said Friday that they had subpoenaed Vilsack for deposition earlier this week. They did so after U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said in a hearing Monday that Vilsack's testimony could speed up the conclusion of the case. The USDA referred calls to the Justice Department, which did not respond to a request to confirm that Vilsack had been subpoenaed.

When Sherrod's full speech to an NAACP group earlier that year came to light, it became clear that her remarks about an initial reluctance to help a white farmer decades ago were not racist but an attempt at telling a story of racial reconciliation. Once that was obvious, Sherrod received public apologies from the administration — even from President Barack Obama himself — and an offer to return to the Agriculture Department, which she declined.

Sherrod's lawyers have been pushing the government to release more documents and emails in an effort to get more information on her ouster. At one point, the judge said that deposing Vilsack, who has said he alone made the decision to seek Sherrod's resignation, might be a quicker route to the information.

The case is one of the first high-profile federal lawsuits to test bloggers' freedom of speech rights, and large news organizations including The New York Times Co., The Washington Post Co. and Dow Jones & Company have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in the suit.

Sherrod's lawsuit says the incident affected her sleep and caused her back pain. It contends that she was damaged by having her "integrity, impartiality and motivations questioned, making it difficult (if not impossible) for her to continue her life's work assisting poor farmers in rural areas" even though she was invited to return to the department.

Lawyers for the bloggers argue the blog post was opinion and did not defame Sherrod.

The Breitbart empire is collapsing. Nothing of the shit is sticking to the wall. With the passing of Andrew Breitbart death, the company is left with no motivation.

O'Keefe, Giles and Dana Loesh left Beirtbart on sour terms. Joel Pollack went to Crazy Jones and InfoWars. Ben Shapiro left the company to jump onto agitator radio.

Michael Jackson Performs At The Billboard Music Awards!

Amazing hologram of Michael Jackson. The producers of the Billboard Music Awards managed to have the legendary singer perform. 

Again, I do not watch awards shows. I find them boring.

I don't care for multimillionaires.

I don't care for celebrities who always manage to make the news.

I don't care about celebrities getting married or divorced.

I don't care about actresses or women in the news getting pregnant.

I don't care about celebrities going from lover to lover.

I don't care about celebrities showing off their new hairstyles.

I don't care celebrities who make their "coming out" parties a tabloid event.

I don't care about celebrities and their personal drug problems.

I don't care about celebrities making their love lives the public's business.

I don't care about this stuff.

One thing that manage to grab the junk food media was the performance by a legend.

Michael Jackson performed live at the Billboard Music Awards to the amazement of those in the audience.

Yeah, this new thing going around. They resurrect the dead.

It's shocking and very amazing. They managed to create a hologram of the legendary King Of Pop.

The Billboard Music Awards is an honor given by Billboard, a publication and music popularity chart covering the music business. The Billboard Music Awards show had been held annually since 1989 in December until it went dormant in 2007. The awards returned in 2011 and has been held annually in May since.

Billboard reports that the Michael Jackson performance on the 2014 Billboard Music Awards was the result of nearly half a year of planning, choreography and filming, not to mention the development of new technology. Producers of the Billboard Music Awards did not see even a portion of the film until eight days before the broadcast.

Jackson, in hologram form, performed "Slave to the Rhythm" midway through Sunday night's show with a five-piece band and 16 dancers live onstage. Jackson appeared in gold jacket, white T-shirt and brick red trousers on a set modeled on the art work for the album "Dangerous," an appropriate choice as the track was recorded in 1991 with L.A. Reid and Babyface during the sessions for that album. Released this week on "XSCAPE," which is neck-and-neck with the new Black Keys album for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week, the track was produced by Timbaland.

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 and the junk food media went live. From east to west, from ocean to ocean, people didn't expect him to pass away.

Blogger Busted For Break In!

YouTube blogger Clayton Kelly (aka Constitution Kelly) lockup photo.

The Tea Party blogger was trying to get dirt on establishment Mississippi Republican senator Thad Cochran.

He got his ass busted for snapping a photo of Cochran's bed ridden wife in a local nursing home.

Clayton Kelly, a Mississippi political blogger who runs Constitutional Clayton, has been arrested by police for reportedly sneaking into the nursing home where Senator Thad Cochran‘s wife is and snapping a photo of her, and posting it online.

Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS)

According to the Clarion Ledger, Kelly snuck into the nursing home and took a picture of a bedridden Rose Cochran, who has been at the nursing home since 2000. An attorney for the senator and his wife said their “privacy and dignity have been violated,” and explained that they were alerted to the picture being posted online. Cochran himself also put out a statement emphasizing how his wife’s health continues to be a private family matter.

Kelly is a supporter of Cochran opponent Chris McDaniel, but the McDaniel campaign has strongly denied any connection to or knowledge of Kelly’s actions, let alone any knowledge of who he is.

Thad Cochran is a vulnerable Republican in the primaries. The state of Mississippi is considered safe for Republicans. There's not many areas Democrats can win.

Brown V. Board Of Education: 60 Years Later!

Future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall celebrates with Oliver Brown in the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education. This decision would ban discrimination in public schools and make segregation illegal.

Still a long way to go. But in America, you can now be in a diversified school. If it wasn't for the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education, the American schools would still be segregated.

The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the civil rights movement.

60 years after Brown vs. Board of Education, many schools still segregated http://t.co/9sz59VkPfn

New Hampshire Police Chief: Plain As Day Obama's A NIGGER!

Yokel cop decides to call the president is NIGGER. 

The American racist right is considered a threat to country.

They exist in America.

There's this jackass law enforcement leader from the town of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire getting a lot of attention. Around a few friends, he told of this Black man in the White House being a NIGGER.

Who's the NIGGER?

Well the racist right usually calls him more than just a NIGGER. They call him a Muslim, a monkey, a Communist, a Socialist, a moron., a racist, a terrorist, an anti-American and just to thing what's next from the racist right!

The Boston Globe reports that a police commissioner in a predominantly white New Hampshire town says he won’t apologize for calling President Barack Obama the N-word, and he sat with his arms crossed while angry residents at a meeting called for his resignation on Thursday.

Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland, who’s 82 and white, has acknowledged in an email to his fellow police commissioners he used the racial slur in describing Obama.

Town resident Jane O'Toole, who moved to Wolfeboro four months ago, said she overheard Copeland say the slur at a restaurant in March and wrote to the town manager about it. Copeland, in an email to her, acknowledged using the slur in referring to the president and said he will not apologize.

‘‘I believe I did use the ‘N’ word in reference to the current occupant of the Whitehouse,’’ Copeland said in the email to his fellow police commissioners, part of which he forwarded to O'Toole. ‘‘For this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such.’’

Copeland, who has declined to be interviewed, is one of three members of the police commission, which hires, fires and disciplines officers and sets their salaries. He ran unopposed for re-election and secured another three-year term on March 11.

About 20 black people live in Wolfeboro, a town of 6,300 residents in the scenic Lakes Region, in the central part of New Hampshire, a state that’s 94 percent white and 1 percent black. None of the town police department’s 12 full-time officers is black or a member of another minority.

Carroll County Deputy Sheriff Paul Bois, who’s black, is one of two officers the town employs part time during the summer to deal with tourists. When asked to comment outside the meeting, he said, ‘‘I'd love to, but I can't.’’

Wolfeboro, NH.

Town Manager David Owen said Thursday that while he finds Copeland’s comment ‘‘reprehensible,’’ he and the board of selectmen have no authority to remove an elected official. He said he expected a large number of residents would call for Copeland’s resignation at the police commission meeting, and they did.

More than 100 people packed into the meeting room at the Wolfeboro Public Library, where librarian Joyce Davis said she can’t remember an issue in 40 years that has sparked so much emotion and outcry. Many of the people wore on their shirts handmade stickers saying, ‘‘Resign,’’ directed at Copeland.

‘‘Comments like these, especially coming from a public official, are not only inexcusable but also terribly, unfortunately, reflects poorly on our town,’’ said O'Toole, who was met with resounding applause.

Commissioner Ron Goodgame, in response to a challenge from O'Toole about whether he and Commission Chairman Joseph Balboni Jr. endorse Copeland’s comments, said, ‘‘It’s neither my view or Commissioner Balboni’s view that the remarks are condoned.’’

Balboni told the Concord Monitor he didn’t plan to ask Copeland to resign.

Nearly two dozen speakers at Thursday’s meeting called on Copeland to quit, and two spoke in his defense. Resident Frank Bader mocked those who took offense at Copeland’s comments in a state that prizes freedom.

‘‘All this man did was express his displeasure with the man who’s in office,’’ Bader said.

After Balboni closed the meeting’s public comment session, many people in the audience descended on Copeland, who remained seated at the commissioners’ table and staunchly refused to engage them.

‘‘I want to think about what’s going on and decide,’’ he said.

Woman Poses As A Teen Fakes A Texas Town!

This is a photo of a young woman who posed as a teenage girl. She's in the lockup for betraying the trust of the family she gotten adopted to.

Friday, is here!

Today I happen to find an interesting story about a woman who tricked her friends and adoptive family into thinking that she was a 15 year old girl. Wondering what state this happened in?

Of course, most would think it's Florida. But alas, it's in the great state of Texas. By the way, this woman has ties to Florida, Minnesota and Alabama. So Florida isn't off the hook, yet!

Longview, Texas woman will be seeing the judge soon on the charges of misdemeanor mistrust.

31-year old Charity Anne Johnson was booked in county lockup for giving false information/fictitious identity.

Longview residents weren't aware that Johnson had been enrolled at an East Texas high school. The New Life Christian School had her enrolled since October under the name Charity Stevens. She had given the school identification that indicated she was 15.

KLTV reports Johnson tricked a family into taking her into their home and becoming her guardian.

County lockup mugshot of Charity Johnson aka Charity Stevens.

"I sympathized with her, and invited her into my home,” Tamica Lincoln told the TV station. “I took her in as a child, did her hair, got her clothes and shoes..."

Lincoln said Johnson told her she had come from an abusive home and that both of her parents had passed away.

"Teachers were crying and students were crying, and her best friend just couldn't believe it,” Lincoln told KLTV.

She's in the Gregg County lockup on a $500 get out free card.

I don't know what her deal was, but she could have been a sexual predator if she was to engage with sexual contact with any of her now former classmates.

Man this is really crazy, she was really 34 years old. Not 31. This is truly a mental case.

Paralyzed Athlete Becomes NFL Player!

Devon Walker is now a New Orleans Saint.

Paralyzed athlete Devon Walker got an opportunity to be a NFL player. In a symbolic move, the former safety from Tulane University was honored to be a part of the NFC South team.

Newser reports Devon Walker had a pretty big day yesterday, graduating Tulane University within hours of landing an NFL contract with the New Orleans Saints. Adding to Walker's feat: He's wheelchair bound and uses a ventilator, after having been paralyzed from the neck down in a 2012 on-field collision. That devastating accident doesn't appear to have slowed the former safety down much: As ESPN reports, Walker has fashioned himself into an inspiration and leader for Tulane's Green Wave.

"I didn't have to do any pregame speeches at home because he did them all," says Tulane coach Curtis Johnson, a former Saints coach. "He policed the locker room. This kid deserves it all. He's very inspirational. Man, I love the kid." Saints coach Sean Payton says Walker has been "an inspiration to our region, to our community, New Orleans, the Tulane family, and it's carried over to us on the Saints." Walker, a Louisiana native, is no less effusive, saying, "I've been a Saint since before I was walking. Just to be a part of this team, just to be around the players is more than I could have hoped."
